Sea organ
The stone stairs stretch to seventy meters of shore, divided into seven ten-meter sections, below which, at the lowest sea level, there are 35 polyethylene pipes of different lengths, diameters and slopes embedded on the shore that are inclined to the coastline and end in the canal (service corridor). The wave-suppressed air flows from the wider into the narrow profile to get the acceleration and the sound of the whistles (LABIUMI whistles) located in the corridor below the coastal promenade, where the sound (through the mystical openings in the stone) comes into the promenade. The instrument has seven clusters of five selected tones derived from the matrix of Dalmatian klapa singing. As the energy must be unpredictable in countless changes in tide, oscillation, magnitude, strength and direction, so is the eternal concert of marine organs reminiscent of innumerable musical variations whose author and interpreter is the very nature.
